Keep your carrier base up to date, assign loads according to parameters when they appear, and multiply capacity during peak seasons without adding headcount to procurement.
Permits, insurance, and certifications expire at different times for every carrier. Many teams find out only when a load needs to be assigned, and sometimes the carrier is no longer compliant.
Every new load means checking the database, calling carriers, negotiating, and waiting for responses. When demand spikes, the team’s speed does not scale with it.
Without regular contact, carriers in your database become inactive or move to other operators. The data remains in a spreadsheet, but the operational relationship is lost.
The solution
Agents keep your carrier base alive: they update compliance, contact carriers when a compatible load appears, and activate capacity before demand spikes. Your team stops chasing documents and starts deciding and negotiating.
The agent contacts carriers when documents are about to expire, receives new files by email, extracts the data, validates it against your rules, and updates the database without involving your team.
When a load appears, the agent filters your base by route, vehicle type, capacity, authorized zone, and history, then contacts compatible carriers in parallel through WhatsApp or voice.
Before a demand spike, the agent activates the entire base with orchestrated outreach. It captures availability, validates compliance, and marks carriers that are ready to assign.
Step by step
Your carrier base moves from a static spreadsheet to a system that maintains itself and activates when you need it.
Team · Initial setup
Load your current base with contacts and core data: name, contact person, vehicle type, valid documents, operational history, and authorized zones. The agent indexes it and prepares compliance and matching workflows.
Agent · Compliance
The agent emails carriers when documents are about to expire, receives the new ones, extracts data, validates it against your rules, and updates your base.
Agent · Load matching
When a load appears, the agent filters your base by route, vehicle, capacity, zone, and history, then contacts compatible carriers in parallel through WhatsApp or call.
Agent · Mass activation
Before high demand, the agent activates the full base, captures availability, validates compliance, and builds a queue of carriers ready to assign.
